This is purely theoretical speculation (hence, I say Imagine it). But if the smart car and the gas pump (charger) have minima chips installed, I think they would be able to perform machine-to-machine (P2P) payment, as both machines will run full nodes and validate the transaction (along with other machines with Minima chips). Especially if MUSD comes alive, I think that would be a no-brainer.
Money is changing. It’s becoming digital, programmable, and able to move instantly across the world. As this new kind of money grows, the real question becomes: Which system will safely move and protect it for everyone—people, machines, and even AI?
Most blockchains today rely on a small group of powerful computers or a handful of validators. That may work for simple transactions, but it becomes fragile when billions of devices need to use digital money at the same time. If those few computers fail or get blocked, the entire system can struggle. And this is only talking about stablecoins. Once full asset tokenization becomes reality, it’s unclear how many chains will truly be able to handle that volume without compromising the blockchain trilemma.
Minima is built for a different future. Instead of depending on a few big machines and elite validators, it allows every device—phones, cars, sensors, appliances—to become a small part of the network. The more devices that join, the stronger the network becomes.
In other words, this is about superior scalability, security, and decentralization. If digital money becomes normal, the world will need a system that is always on, everywhere, and nearly impossible to shut down. That is exactly what Minima is designed to be.
